Berlin Remix of the Moose

Tags: change congress, jeffersons moose, read-only culture, read-write culture, remix, remix culture

Larry Lessig gave an amazing presentation on David Post’s Jefferson’s Moose (2009) at the Heinrich-BÃ¶ll Foundation in Berlin last week. Watch it! What do you think about the RW/RO argument? The Remix argument? Is change as radical as Lessig argues? What is your favorite moose? Other mooses you can think of?

I like another example Larry Lessig used (if I remember correctly) at a TED speech to show how law has to be adapted to use new technologies efficiently:

After the invention of airplanes land-owners first claimed they had a right to get paid for the usage of the airspace above their land (a claim backed up by the wording of property laws).

Imagine negotiating with the property right owners for a short flight from Berlin to Madrid!

@Justus

fantastic example! – same issue came up in the debate on how to cut up outer space. Both show the power of metaphorological/analogical reasoning in law.
